Why is August so bad?
The story highlights that August sees the most drink-drive crashes, surpassing even December. This is likely due to the summer holidays, longer daylight hours, and increased social events like barbecues and festivals. More opportunities for socialising, often involving alcohol, can lead to more people taking risks and driving under the influence.
